      I got my daughter a new generation an I’m happy I went with the cheaper on because she doesn’t play with her or touch her at all!! She’s only 5 so maybe when she’s older she will be more into it. I was really surprised because she loves baby dolls. She would love the bitty baby version though I didn’t know they had those!

    I love this video and I have watched your similar videos for at least 3 years now. My son is super into the Periodic Table at 6. So we got him a periodic tabke poster for his room and an acrylic block with many of the periodic table elements in it (ofcourse not the radioactive ones LOL). Just Wednesday online I was able to purchase $255 worth of Legos for $115 at Walmart. They had a killer Lego sale some $69.97 sets were $30!! So we are set for birthday, Christmas, Easter, and something to do in the incredibly hot summers we have when we neeed to stay in due to heat.

      @melesa  Год назад +1

      Thank you! Most of them we earn through our credit card points. We purchase most things on our credit card and then pay them off each month to avoid paying interest. Then we choose to use the points once a year to get gift cards to help with Christmas. This year we did earn a few from a rewards program with our insurance as well.

    How do you save things on Amazon?

    • @melesa
      @melesa  Год назад +1

      I make lists for each child. You can go to you Amazon account and then it should say “Your Lists.” You can then create different lists and choose a name for it. When you want to add something to it, go to the item and scroll down under “Add to Cart” and it will have a link that says “Add to List.” When you click on that, you can choose which list to add it to.
      On prime day or periodically I check the lists to see if anything is on a good sale and it’s something I want to buy for birthdays or Christmas.

    • @melesa
      @melesa  Год назад +4

      All the toys that are specifically for the 18 month old are not choking hazards. The ladybug toy does have small flowers so that will just be used when I’m around. Having older kids comes with small toys so all of those are kept out of reach or behind closed doors in their rooms. Kids are kids so we do have to be diligent about making sure they stay in those areas.
